Jeff McLane of the Inquirer recently dropped an interesting tidbit in a column about the Eagles’ running back position. Bold emphasis is mine:
With the slate essentially clean, the Eagles seemingly had the motive to finally sign a free agent. Le’Veon Bell was out of their price range, but they had set their sights on free agent Tevin Coleman, NFL sources close to the situation said. Running backs coach Duce Staley, in fact, had the former Falcon rated as his top free agent.
